I didn't contradict myself, I meant to say if we don't see a new FE lord we aren't going to see a new FE Lord, what I mean is we'll most likely see another FE rep from the older games instead, and I don't see why FE shouldn't get another rep, you forget it's has a high influence on the Japenese not just the U.S.For female reps, the one ones I see with a decent chance are Medusa, Dixie Kong, and maybe Palutena.We have yet to see a non-Lord make an appearance as a playable character. Her biggest problem is that she is a knight and if a new Fire Emblem game comes with a new Lord, her chances mostly goes down the drain. I have my doubts about a third Fire Emblem rep being playable unless a new game gets announced soon.
And you contradict yourself by saying that she's very likely but then saying unless a new game come, a new Fire Emblem rep is not likely.
How relevant? If Melee and Brawl were any indication, the last major release or the next one in development at the start of the Smash game's development is what he's referring to. For example, Mario's last major game was Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010) and his next major one is Super Mario 3D (2012 at the earliest). For SSB4 that would mean that 2011 is the cutoff date so if it hasn't been released or isn't in development yet, it gets left out.Thats spot on for the Director's concern for something like pokemon, a franchise with a tremendous library to choose from. I can see generation involvement in many different ways.

What concerns me about the train of thought on a subject like relevancy is : just 'how' relevant? New games like the next kirby one linger in the air, and a new DK game was just released not too long ago. From what I can gather, the realm of development has a sense of capping possible creativity even though new games (that could contribute well to the series) are on the horizon. I noted many strange phenomena like this happening when brawl was released.
If taking remakes into considerations, if we get a new Fire Emblem rep, it won't be from the old games, it'll be from the remakes. As for Caeda, right now, I don't think she has a good chance now, but she is more of a "Wait and see" since I'll need more information and more time before I can come to a full conclusion, especially since there are characters from other series with much higher demands then Caeda.I didn't contradict myself, I meant to say if we don't see a new FE lord we aren't going to see a new FE Lord, what I mean is we'll most likely see another FE rep from the older games instead, and I don't see why FE shouldn't get another rep, you forget it's has a high influence on the Japenese not just the U.S.
Him being retro is debatable. He hasn't appeared in a new game yet, but he has made an appearance in Captain Rainbow, WarioWare D.I.Y., and a remake inside the Wii version of Samurai Warriors 3. That's why I don't lump him into the retro group.Maybe so, but I just want to point out that she isn't complety out of the question, even if more high demanded characters such as Takumaru and Ridley are more of a priority :/
I believe Takamaru has a decent chance because he's retro, but I can't really say much since I've don't know much about him.
It also helps that Sakurai said if he appeared in his own game, he would consider him. If the remake of The Mysterious Murasame Castle in Samurai Warriors 3 counts, that means Sakurai will almost certainly be considering putting Takamaru in. That's why I put him as among the ten most likely newcomers in SSB4. However, I'd like to know why Sakurai mentioning Takamaru in interview helps his chances.Fatmanonice said:2. The fact that he's had a decent number of cameos in recent years.
Let's remember that Sakurai considered him a good seven to ten years ago. It's been a while, his opinion may have changed, and he could already have some sort of plan already schemed out. BUT, if were going off interviews and hard evidence like that, let's hope he adds Krystal to make up for the fact that he didn't know who she was. x) Sakurai fail.It also helps that Sakurai said if he appeared in his own game, he would consider him.

The one on the NES. He mentioned three games as his favorites and they were all on the NES. I forgot what the third game was though...One of Sakurai's favourite games? That's pretty cool. By "original" Punch-Out!! does that mean the Arcade or Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!?
He's pretty much this generation's Pit. After Melee, people were like "you know, Pit would be cool in Smash Bros" and the same thing has pretty much happened with Takamaru except the support seems more widespread especially with all the major cameos in the past four years.It also helps that Sakurai said if he appeared in his own game, he would consider him. If the remake of The Mysterious Murasame Castle in Samurai Warriors 3 counts, that means Sakurai will almost certainly be considering putting Takamaru in. That's why I put him as among the ten most likely newcomers in SSB4.
Sakurai may have mentione Takamaru as a possibility, but like shortie mentioned, that interview was at least 5 years ago, he opinions about a said character may have changed by now, but that's not to say he isn't a possibility, it solely depends on whether or not Sakurai is in favor of him this time around.It also helps that Sakurai said if he appeared in his own game, he would consider him.

I would love to see:Usually we've had two retros each game.
Ice Climbers were starter in Melee, G & W was last unlock usually.
Pit was starter, ROB was later unlock.
I think that the more crazy, out there retro's would be the unlock. Takamaru would probably be more like Pit, who'd be revealed early.
Why do we want another installment? Because a vast majority of us have beaten Brawl and it's been three years. That's simply how the entertainment industry works. They spend several years making a game and we beat it in about month and then sit on our hands until the next game comes out if it was popular enough to warrant a sequel. It's just basic consumerism I guess.Not quite so important, I'm sure that there are numerous ways to play smash brothers that don't require such a luxury. So what is it? Why do we even want another installment? Better balancing for competetive play? Highly unlikely to happen. A chance at redemption? I'm sure the designers couldn't give a hoot about how we feel about their product. And, due that that reality, we have hacked versions of brawl.
I know this is getting long by now, but in summation the last thing that I can come up with is that it has become expected, each console thus far has had one. But wait a minute, from what I can recall in an interview, Brawl was intended to represent the absolute last installment in the franchise. Except with trilogies becoming a thing of the past, another game just gets to happen. I figure, and this is me, that alloting proper time for development, would weaken our desires for another game. My point? When it comes down to it, we each want XYZ character to play with, giving us just enough incentive to request more out of the next installment.
Now your talking, Caeda definetly has a chance at it, why you ask? Well...
- She has and plays a significant role in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon along Marth who is already an established character in the Smash series.
-Would offer unique possibilities such as a Lance rather than the tiring cast of Sword users, has room to work with and potentially a fast character.
-The argument about her riding a Peguses would be invalid, just like Captain Falcon she can be adjusted to play just as any other unit, or in this case other Smash characters.
-She is a female, Smash needs more females to represent Smash.
Aside from those, she definetly has a good chance and the fact that Shadow Dragon sold quite well also works in her favor.
Final Smash Idea: Summons her troop of Peguses Knights, rides they in air and she perform the ultimate Triangle Attack with of course consist of 3 lance users.
No it isn't. she isn't fused to the freaking pony. She can just not use it. Next reason why she shouldn't be in the game.Omega my man, as much as I love Caeda I assure she has a low chance to get (unless a group of Japanese fans did a petition to Sakurai about her )....Pegasus Knight argument is quite valide you are comparing Fire Emblem (involve alot of Fighting)
Oh, the next reason is "She just can't" because she isn't that important. On the FEWiki she is listed as the second most important character in that game. I don't know much about the series, so take that with a grain of salt.I'm Sorry but Caeda is the worst candidate for Fire Emblem....and BTW I played the game and she doesn't have that big of a role, Elincia from FE:Radian Dawn had a bigger role and I'm a fanboy of this girl :D but I know she barely has a chance because she rides a Pegasus to.
Here is something that I can actually agree with. She may not get in because she has competition. Not because she has a horse, or her role is small. (All peach does is sit a castle being captured for almost all the Mario games. She techinacally does nothing.)Out best choices for a girl it's either Lyndis (green hair fan) or sadly Micaiah....
See depending on all the information of Fire Emblem we got....all the characters from Fire Emblem has their moves taken from the series all the stances eve Ike (Bolganone) and trust me if a Horse riding Lord stand a chance than that would be Siglud:No it isn't. she isn't fused to the freaking pony. She can just not use it. Next reason why she shouldn't be in the game.

You then end your reasoning with the Pony arguement again. (Not that big of a deal. I never was, and will never be)

That's just a rumor. I think it was because someone made up a rumor that some character was intended to be in both 64 and Melee. It was because that character was supposedly Sakurai's favorite FE character. I don't remember who it was, but I know that this said character isn't Sakurai's fave. It's someone else. Do you like how mysterious this was?See depending on all the information of Fire Emblem we got....all the characters from Fire Emblem has their moves taken from the series all the stances eve Ike (Bolganone) and trust me if a Horse riding Lord stand a chance than that would be Siglud:
I don't know where I read this but I remember someone said that he was intended to be included instead of Roy...and I think he was the supposed Fire Emblem represent-or of SSB64.....
and in Japan (among all the FE fans) his game is considered the best Fire Emblem ever made.
That's why I have no idea who the next Fire Emblem rep is going to be or if we're getting any at all.Shortiecanbrawl said:Here is something that I can actually agree with.

I'll go look up who it was now.
Many people assume it is Siglud when it is not.
there you go . that guy.
I see.... I stand corrected than .That's just a rumor. I think it was because someone made up a rumor that some character was intended to be in both 64 and Melee.

And here is the proof.Sakurai’s favorite Fire Emblem character (at least, at the time this statement was written) is Nabarl. The only reason I’m putting this here is because a lot of people believed that his favorite character was Sigurd (or Siglud), the protagonist of the fourth Fire Emblem, and along with that idea came the rumor that he was planned for SSB64 or something. Neither of those are true.
And here is the proof.
Well Ike-Sama, who do you suggest?Omega my man, as much as I love Caeda I assure she has a low chance to get (unless a group of Japanese fans did a petition to Sakurai about her )....Pegasus Knight argument is quite valide you are comparing Fire Emblem (involve alot of Fighting) with F-Zero (which barely involve any fighting.)....I'm Sorry but Caeda is the worst candidate for Fire Emblem....and BTW I played the game and she doesn't have that big of a role, Elincia from FE:Radian Dawn had a bigger role and I'm a fanboy of this girl :D but I know she barely has a chance because she rides a Pegasus to.

Yes, I agree with this. This shows in 64, Melee, and Brawl when it comes to characters and stages.How relevant? If Melee and Brawl were any indication, the last major release or the next one in development at the start of the Smash game's development is what he's referring to. For example, Mario's last major game was Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010) and his next major one is Super Mario 3D (2012 at the earliest). For SSB4 that would mean that 2011 is the cutoff date so if it hasn't been released or isn't in development yet, it gets left out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePc4yK2dtko&feature=relatedAnyone think that Nabral stands a chance? Did she appear in the remake? Surely Sakurai's biasness may influence him enough to put her in this time around.
Well Ike-Sama, who do you suggest?
